Suggest Treatment For Right Eye Tearing And White Spot On Cornea

A physician assistant colleague asks for input about the following patient seen at a clinic in rural Haiti: 10yo girl with right eye tearing and white spot on her cornea x 2 months. Her mother reported it had turned red initially but then pain and redness resolved. She had a steady stream of tears and a white 1mm rough exudate/lesion in her cornea with surrounding hazy circle approximately 3mm in diameter.
